Re: Use a wort chiller to save time

I wouldn't go out and buy a chiller, just get 25-50 feet of copper 1/2 inch and shape around a small object than the kettle (such as a small pan). I then cool in two different methods depending on how prepared I was. First is that I attached garden hose. Second for faster cooloing is running the water into bottling bucket full of ice, then to chiller. Ice is most effecient towards final stages would say 140 and below.
